Description
Blandys 30 Year Old Bual Madeira is made by Blandy’s, one of the most famous and oldest suppliers of quality Madeira.
Blandys 30 Year Old Bual Madeira is a blend of wines with an average of 30 years old that have been matured in seasoned American oak casks. This 30 year old blend has been created from a selection of the very best Bual vintages of the last 5 decades, and has an average of 32 years of ageing. The youngest wine in the blend is 11 years old, and the oldest 47 years old. All the grapes were picked in the winemaking regins of Campanário and Estreito da Calheta. All wines were vinified in free running press, and fortified in the last third of fermentation.
The wines were aged at the family’s Lodge in Funchal in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system, whereby the wine is gradually transferred from the higher floors where the temperatures are higher, to the middle floors and eventually to the ground floor where temperatures are cooler. The process of transferring the barrels is absolutely critical to ensure the right balance of ullage and concentration. All through the ageing process, the primary fruit flavours of the wine are gently transformed into tertiary dried fruit notes that produce unique Madeira hallmark bouquet.
Blandys 30 Year Old Bual Madeira is 100% Bual and is made in a medium sweet style. It is presented in a 50cl bottle in an individual box. Does not require decanting. It has been bottled when ready for drinking and will keep for several months after opening.
